what about a BMW 325 Coupe? I've had two now and they are excellent motors, I know a saff is miles better if you are passionate about them, but it depends on your circumstances, i bought the bimmer because i didn't have enough money in my pocket for any breakdown repairs on my old saffs, where as the bimmer is nice and reliable, still looks good, and is a shade over 190bhp aswell

it all depends on your circumstances, i.e how much money you have to spare AFTER you bought the car!
